Reach out to me...
"Reach out to me" is the catch-phrase that replaced the old "Let's touch base"LTB is already on my list of pet peeves for being over used.
The phrase "Call me sometime" must have died and gone to heaven.
It doesn't take long before I start mimicking people who constantly repeat themselves. I had a customer who repeated herself at least 3 times per conversation. I'm not sure if it's for her benefit or mine. Maybe she's trying to 'reach out to me.'
My brother used to say "Don't be so redundant" a lot and that always brought a smile... until I heard it a thousand times and shouted back... "Don't be so redundant"
Surely I was reaching out to him on that !!
I assigned a project to a general contractor to remove an old kitchen so I can install the new one and our meeting went smoothly on our first project together. As we were leaving, we thanked the client for his time and indicated we need a week or so to gather our information to present a final proposal.
With a smile on his face, the client replied... "Good, have your people call my people... "
